US President Barack Obama will head out on his first major African tour since taking office, traveling to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania from June 26 to July 3, the White House said Monday.
The National Security Council announced the trip on its Twitter account, without immediately offering further details. Obama, born in the United States to an American mother and a Kenyan father, has so far only been to one sub-Saharan African country since becoming president: Ghana, in July 2009.
